Indigenous articulations of social media and digital assemblages of care
Studies show that, in times of need, Indigenous people across the continent now referred to as ‘Australia’ tend to rely more on the ‘informal’ connections of support, care and trust made with family, friends and community—connections which are increasingly mediated through digital technologies. Australian researchers have recently begun attending to the possibilities social media offers in sustaining networks of support ‘outside’ settler geograph…
Care, chaos and cosmos: Territorial Refrains of Refugee Belonging
This paper explores how refugees use territorial refrains to negotiate belonging in protracted displacement. Drawing on ethnographic research with Syrian refugees in Jordan, it examines how refugees draw on past, present and future territorialities to construct a sense of belonging that transcends the confines of camp and national borders. The paper argues that these territorial refrains are not simply expressions of nostalgia or future aspiratio…

Indigenous Digital Life: The Practice and Politics of Being Indigenous on Social Media
They Got Filters: Indigenous Social Media, the Settler Gaze, and a Politics of Hope
Social media technologies have had ambivalent political implications for Indigenous peoples and communities. On one hand, they constitute new horizons toward which settler colonial forces of marginalization, disenfranchisement, and elimination can extend and strengthen their power. On the other hand, social media have also offered opportunities to resist and reject the violence of colonization and its ideological counterparts of domination and ra…
Yarning circles and social media activism
The practices of 'yarning' and 'yarning circles' are relatively common across groups of Indigenous Australians. This practice broadly consists of storytelling within a respectful and deeply democratic space, where each participant takes turns in speaking, and in which the direction of discussion may meander, fixate, or take divergent and creative lines of flight. The existing literature has explored the use of 'yarning circles' in promoting both …
Indigenous Memes and the Invention of a People
Scholars have become increasingly interested in the political work of Internet memes. While this research has delivered critical insights into how memes are implicated in both progressive and reactionary politics, there endures a lack of critical work on the ways in which Indigenous people engage with memes to deconstruct colonial power relations and produce alternative political arrangements. This article offers a reading of a set of memes produ…

It's like Going to a Cemetery and Lighting a Candle: Aboriginal Australians, Sorry Business and social media
Death and funeral practices are a constant presence in many Aboriginal Australians' lives-research in some communities found they are eight times more likely to have attended a funeral in the previous 2 years than non-Aboriginal people. This can be explained by two major factors: inordinately high rates of Aboriginal mortality and cultural practices around death (broadly referred to as Sorry Business). Research in other contexts has found traditi…
The vibe” and “the glide”: Surf ing through the voices of longboarders
This article reads transcripts of interviews conducted with longboarders to advance a fresh understanding of localism. Conventionally, historians and sociologists have framed localism around the practices, motives and experiences of surfers who ride shortboards. This approach tends to silence the voice of other groups of surfers, including longboarders. Drawing on ideas from cultural geography, this article explores the motivations and experience…
